What we do
A choir that prays, performs and serves
Three rhythms keep us together: weekly Sunday liturgy, seasonal concerts and outreach, and a love for the Church's living song.
Sunday Liturgy
We animate the 11:30 am Mass every Sunday — prayerful, prepared, and rooted in the missal, leading the congregation into solemn celestial praise.
Weekly celebrationView order
Concerts & Outreach
From Mater Hospital carols to the African Concert, our voice serves beyond the chapel walls, carrying Christ's mercy into wards, homes and halls.

Who we are
A community of voices, one body of praise
Made up of parishioners from every walk of life, the choir is a place where music, prayer, and friendship meet. We rehearse seriously, sing prayerfully, and serve the liturgy first — but we also love a good concert, a charity drive, and the long tea afterwards.
